21 Nomuli gei di king ga helekai gi Joab, “Au gu hagababa aga i ogu lodo bolo au ga haga gila dau mee dela e hiihai ginai. Hana laa, laha mai tama daane go Absalom gi kinei.”

22 Joab ga dogoduli iha gi hongo nia gelegele i mua nnadumada o David, ga helekai, “God la gi hagahumalia ina goe, meenei dogu dagi di king. Dolomeenei gei au gu iloo bolo goe gu tenetene mai gi di au, i di goe dela gu haga gila dagu dangidangi.” 23 Gei mee gaa hana gi Geshur, ga laha mai a Absalom gi Jerusalem. 24 Di king gaa hai bolo Absalom la gi hudee noho i lodo di hale king, gei gu helekai labelaa bolo ia hagalee e hiihai e heetugi gi mee. Malaa, Absalom nogo noho hua i dono hale, digi hana loo gi mua nnadumada o di king.

25 Tangada i Israel e madanga gei e humalia dono huaidina be Absalom ai, e daamada i dono libogo gaa tugi i ono babaawae. 26 Nia ngaahulu o dono libogo koia e maadolu huoloo, gei e dahi hagadahi i di ngadau e dahi, ma gaa tomo gaa lloo. Nia ngaahulu aalaa le e daamaha nia pauna e lima, ma ga pauna i di mee pauna mee o tenua deelaa. 27 Absalom ana dama daane dogodolu, gei dana dama ahina hua e dahi, dono ingoo go Tamar, tama ahina madanga huoloo.

28 Absalom nogo noho i Jerusalem i nia ngadau e lua, digi mmada loo gi di king, 29 gei mee ga haga iloo gi Joab bolo mee gi hanimoi e hana e pono ia, e heetugi gi di king. Malaa, Joab la digi hanimoi. Absalom gaa hai labelaa dana hegau gi mee, gei Joab e haga balumee hua, digi hanimoi. 30 Malaa, Absalom gaa hai gi ana gau hai hegau boloo, “Mmada, di hadagee a Joab la i baahi hua dagu hadagee, dela e tomo ai nia ‘barley’ no lodo. Hula, duungia.” Gei digaula guu hula guu dudu di hadagee ‘barley’ deelaa.

31 Gei ogo Joab gaa hana gi di hale o Absalom, ga heeu, “Au gau hai hegau la ne dudu dagu hadagee eimaha?”

32 Absalom ga helekai, “Idimaa goe digi hanimoi gi dagu hegau dela ne hai adu. Au ne hiihai bolo goe gii hana e pono au, e hai dagu heeu gi di king boloo, ‘Ma di aha ne hai, dela au gu diiagi di waahale go Geshur, ga hanimoi gi kinei? Di mee dela e mada humalia mai gi di au, la go dogu noho i golo.’ ” Absalom ga helekai labelaa, “Au e hiihai bolo goe gi heia dogu madagoaa e heetugi gi di king. Maa au gu ihala, gei mee gi daaligi au gii made!”

33 Gei Joab gaa hana gi di king go David, ga hagi anga nia helekai Absalom ala ne hai. Gei di king gaa hai dana hegau gi Absalom, gei Absalom gaa hana gi mee, ga dogoduli iha gi hongo nia gelegele i mua di king, gei di king guu hila ang gi mee, guu hongi a mee.
